Hepatitis C Assessment
Hepatitis C is a silent disease and it can take years to cause distinct and noticeable symptoms. A smaller percentage of people report that in the early stages of the disease they felt vague symptoms like:
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Nausea
- Poor appetite
- Muscular pains
- Joint pain
- Tenderness in the area of the liver
Since Hepatitis C is an infectious viral disease that is transmitted through the blood, and primarily targets the cells of the liver, these are the most common tests you might have received to confirm your diagnosis or to recognize the extent of the disease:
- Viral count in the blood
- Genotyping ( to determine the genetic makeup of the virus)
- Liver enzymes (to evaluate how damaged the liver functions are)
- Liver Biopsy (to assess the degree of degeneration in the tissue, called cirrhosis, or the presence of a malignancy)
At Sanoviv you can receive these and other alternative assessments that can provide us information on how the disease is affecting you. Our scope is not limited to these as we also assess other factors that can be contributing to further imbalances present in your body.
We will thoroughly assess what lifestyle choices may be impacting your overall health in regard to Hepatitis C. We will support you in balancing or quitting any habits or activities that can further harm your recovery, such as:
- Drinking any kind of alcohol
- Tobacco use
- Medications or other substances that can further impact the function of the liver
